Some people hold on to their angry feelings for a long time. Others just "forgive and forget."

Forgiveness is:

a choice you make so that you can let go of your anger
• an important step you take to reduce your anger
• being able to understand the other person
• accepting other's even though they think differently
• something that can help you as much as it can help your relationship with others
• not wanting harm to come to someone else

Think about a time when you would have been better off forgiving someone rather than
staying angry at them. Write about this below.
